CHRONIC BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH CHIROPRACTIC

Chronic back pain drives many sufferers to their doctors for help. Chronic back pain’s effect on the sufferer and his/her “default mode network” of living often has something to do the years lived with pain: the longer the pain stage the more influence the pain has on the patient and his/her cognitive pain coping attitude. (1) Not surprising, but it’s now described in the medical literature and will certainly be analyzed more. It’s also known that lumbar spinal stenosis patients differ in their symptom severity and improvement path from “improving” to “fluctuating/improving” to “persistent.” (2) Back pain is truly a unique journey, one your chiropractor goes on with you as chiropractic care’s spinal manipulation is high on clinical practice guidelines’ lists of noninvasive, non-drug pain therapies. (3) As a matter of published fact, non-surgical, conservative care options lead treatment recommendations lists. Spinal manipulation, chiropractic’s forte, is a top recommendation in many treatment recommendation lists by groups like the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society. (4) Using chiropractic care and such methods as mindfulness - which has been shown to improve pain-related functions - may be quite beneficial for you. (5)

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Joseph Beissel and his chronic back pain patient on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson  about the use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment protocols to contain chronic back pain and allow you to enjoy your life a bit more.

Auburn CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Consider Peppermint Oil: A Relaxing Boost!

We all may be in need of a boost occasionally. The past few stressful years are catching up with us. Whether you’re tired or healing, peppermint may add some energy into your system. A recent study shared that inhalation of peppermint post-back-surgery decreased patients’ anxiety and pain levels. (6) Another study found that peppermint oil inhalation decreased cardiac surgery patients’ post-op nausea. (7) Adding peppermint oil to a footbath for adolescents with primary headache disorder showed that both the control and participant groups had a significant decrease in headache pain and decrease in anxiety over time with no adverse events. 95.6% of the participants favored and recommended this! (8) Time for some relaxation? Peppermint oil may be your friend!
